QUEST
3D RF Passive Device Modeling

QUEST calculates 3D frequency dependent inductance, resistance, capacitance and capacitive loss for any multi-port network for RF SPICE analysis. QUEST creates frequency dependent and independent SPICE models for W-element transmission lines, inductors and MIM capacitors from GDSII layouts.

 

Key Features

• Calculates frequency dependent or independent spiral inductor standard SPICE models directly from GDSII layout and technology files
• Calculates frequency dependent W-element transmission line SPICE models directly from GDSII layout and technology files
• Calculates frequency dependent multi-port S-parameter models directly from GDSII layout and technology files for use in RF SPICE for any arbitrary layout and structure
• Calculates L, C or R coupling effects between conductors
• Includes complex permittivity and frequency dependent material permittivity to account for lossy dielectrics
• Integrated into Virtual Wafer Fab (VWF) to allow Design Of Experiments (DOE) and optimization features
